Looking south on Broadway from 10th Street (later Olympic Blvd) toward the L.A. Examiner newspaper building on 11th Street, downtown Los Angeles, circa 1920sIn this 1920s photo, we’re looking south down Broadway from 10th Street. Tenth is now called Olympic Blvd and the intersection no longer looks like this. The streetcars are, of course, long gone, as is that triangular building with four big neon signs. Farther down Broadway, we can see Hearst’s L.A. Examiner newspaper building at 11th and Broadway that stretches all the way to 12th. It’s still there and is currently undergoing a huge conversion to a mixed-use space with creative office, retail, and restaurant spaces.

Approximately the same view in February 2021:

The Examiner building really does look wonderful these days. This image is from February 2021 so it looks like the conversion project is coming long very well:
